3.8's are not dead i just got mine and im looking to stick with it for a while, and there are ways that you can mod them up to be great.
Well, that being said about opinions, here's mine:
People who brag about having V8's and say that, "modding V6es is pointless and stupid," are idiots.
You can't fault a 16-25 yr-old for modding a V6. Everyone drives what they can afford(well some don't, but those'll get repo'd ), and all car people will mod their cars. Nothing wrong with taking pride in your car.
That said, those that spend thousands of dollars modding V6es to "go V8 hunting" are also idiots. If you have thousands of dollars to blow on stroking and F/I'ing a V6, you have enough to get a V8 project car on the side, or upgrade to a V8. The V8 cars will always have more potential than the 3.8. The only reason to want to build a V6 to beat GT's is just because you can't swallow the times GT owners handed you your ass at stoplights. IMO, get over it and just be proud it was a Mustang that beat you.
It's just like the idiot ricers that talk about 4-bangers beating Mustangs. Really, who cares? Just cause the 15 yr-old Honda their parents gave them got raped by Mustangs on a daily basis, they're gonna spend the rest of their life pouring money into crappy import cars cause they couldn't swallow their pride.
It doesn't make sense for them, and it doesn't make sense for V6 Mustang owners. And V8 Mustang owners that come in here and talk crap, don't help the problem either.
I see no point in modding a V6. Just my opinion. I own one. It's a daily driver. Nothing more.
*gazes lovingly at my two fox 5.0s sitting in my garage*
I don't think it's cool to call us idiots. I never once called this guy an idiot for wanting to mod his V6. I just said I see no point in it. I have my opinion is all.
Before this gets any more out of control, let me remind the members of the V6 Forum that the original poster created this thread in the 4.6L Talk section, where it remained for quite some time until I moved it here where it belonged! There was no V8 crowd invading the V6 Forum to bash the 3.8L owners. The original opinions given were done so while it was in 4.6 Talk domain, so lets stop the finger wagging and the "you guys started it" accusations in their tracks now, shall we!Forgive me if I don't see the point in V8 owners coming into the V6 forums and saying it's pointless to mod V6es.
You just set V6 guys (and all members on this board with more than a 10th grade English education that wasn't derived from an MSN chat room) back 10-years with that post. Please do your best to at least try to make a coherent and valid point if you want any credibility on this subject at all!yea ur right i cant swallow my pride bcuz i know eventually it may be 10 years from now or when ever but eventually i will have enough in my car to be proud to pull up beside a v8 at a stop light its just the fact of being the underdog bcuz people say oooh a v6, ill stop'em and then makin them rethink it when the light hits green.

I guess expecting a degree of civility from the 4.6 forums is expecting too much.
I dont need credability bcuz im not talking about the other v6 drivers im talking about me imi talking about the fun of trying to make a v6 hang in there with a v8 just because everybody thinks that they wont.
I'm also a V6 owner or was I not clear enough in my first post? I believe I'm allowed to post in these V6 forums.Forgive me if I don't see the point in V8 owners coming into the V6 forums and saying it's pointless to mod V6es.
That'd be like a Corvette owner going into the V8 forums here and saying, "I have a Mustang GT as a daily driver, but modding it is pointless. My C6 Z06 will always be faster."
You'd probably think that post was idiotic and pointless.
I'm curious.....exactly what part of Frankenstangs post did you find to be "uncivil"? Your response to her "personal opinion" was far more harsh IMO. Maybe you shouldn't be so defensive to other peoples opinion when it doesn't mirror your own?
.....you want practice, try driving a Cougar for a while. You'll grow a really thick skin to critical comments.

I think it is laughable that GT owners spend thousands and thousands on bolt ons just to run mid-low 13s. That's just as much a waste as a V6 owner spending thousands on bolt ons to run 14s.
Well, for starters you did respond directly to her and no one else in your replay.Who said I was talking about her?
Just because she was the only one to take offense?
I have to wonder; if she wasn't in the little "talk posse," would you even have cared?

Congrats. You're currently a V6 owner. I'm not; I used to be but I always had my '66 as the real project car. But I still never saw the point in telling V6 owners their cars should only daily drivers that shouldn't be modded.
You may own V8 and V6 Mustangs. But if you don't have a degree of respect for everyone in this hobby, then you're not a Mustanger. Even when you see a riced out Mustang that looks like utter crap, maybe you should give the person credit for picking a Mustang in the first place even though you may have prefered to see another car ruined by their hand.
Basically what I said is V8 owners shouldn't criticize V6 owners for modding their cars. On the flip side, one shoudn't spend thousands of dollars on a V6 instead of a V8 just because they can't take criticism when V8 owners do say those things. I find people in both groups to be idiotic. Should I have sugarcoated it? Is that what got me into trouble?
Gearbanger, isn't it against Stangnet TOS to talk about street racing?
Nawwww......I'm not gonna chew anyone out because of a stop light comment, but any detailed chit chat about how someone street raced sew and sew and blew their doors off in open forum is gonna get some attention.
Well, for starters you did respond directly to her and no one else in your replay.
So now you turn your frustration towards me???
FYI, I’m guessing the reason she took offence to your statement was because you singled her out in your quote!
